I think all the varying browsers can be glitchy from time to time depending on what else you're running on your computer. A couple of weeks ago my laptop locked up totally. I eventually got it running in safe mode. I originally thought it was AVG causing the problem so took that off, but no, still the same.

I eventually tracked it down to Firefox. Took it off, and am now back in business running on Chrome with no problems - there - I've probably jinxed it now.

Another one who has given up on Chrome and now on FF .. Chrome was freezing and taking ages to load pages.. the "resolving host " issue.. which I have tried to resolve without much success .. including a clean install.

Firefox is good, but not perfect.. it's just better.

also, when you uninstall Chrome using Windows uninstaller it won't remove personal seeings and other Chrome files which will still be there when you re install ..so you may still have the same issue

to get rid of all the Chrome files you need to do a manual search or better and safer is Revo uninstaller which also removes the associated registry entries.
